LZ 47 is the contruction serial number
Until LZ39 army Zeppelins kept the serial number
From than on an additional + 30 was added to the construction serial number
c:n LZ 47 became L.Z.77!
Was shot down by AA fire near Brabant-le-Roi and crashed burning near Revigny.
All crew killed.
L.Z.77 was based at that moment at Düsseldorf.
Commander was Hptm. Horn.
